Chemosphere, 90(2), 210-219. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2012.06.041

We investigated the feasibility of coupling passive sampling and in vitro bioassay techniques for both chemical and ecotoxicological assessment of complex mixtures of organic contaminants in water. Silicone rubber passive sampling devices (SR-PSDs) w...

Assessing effects of aerobic and anaerobic conditions on phosphorus sorption and retention capacity of water treatment residuals. (2011)
Journal Article
Oliver, I., Grant, C., & Murray, R. (2011). Assessing effects of aerobic and anaerobic conditions on phosphorus sorption and retention capacity of water treatment residuals. Journal of Environmental Management, 960 - 966. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2010.11.016

Water treatment residuals (WTRs) are the by-products of drinking water clarification processes, whereby chemical flocculants such as alum or ferric chloride are added to raw water to remove suspended clay particles, organic matter and other materials...

Persistent organic pollutants (PCB, DDT, HCH, HCB & BDE) in eels (Anguilla anguilla) in Scotland: current levels and temporal trends. (2010)
Journal Article
Macgregor, K., Oliver, I., Harris, L., & Ridgway, I. (2010). Persistent organic pollutants (PCB, DDT, HCH, HCB & BDE) in eels (Anguilla anguilla) in Scotland: current levels and temporal trends. Environmental Pollution, 2402 - 2411. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2010.04.005

Eels are an ideal biomonitor for persistent organic pollutants (POPs) because of their high lipid content, longevity and tendency to remain within a defined range during their freshwater life phase. This study investigated concentrations of POPs in e...

Assessing depleted uranium (DU) contamination of soil, plants and earthworms at UK weapons testing sites. (2007)
Journal Article
Oliver, I., Graham, M., MacKenzie, A., Ellam, R., & Farmer, J. (2007). Assessing depleted uranium (DU) contamination of soil, plants and earthworms at UK weapons testing sites. Journal of Environmental Monitoring, 740 - 748. https://doi.org/10.1039/B700719A

Depleted uranium (DU) weapons testing programmes have been conducted at two locations within the UK. An investigation was therefore carried out to assess the extent of any environmental contamination arising from these test programmes using both alph...
